How to Ask Tarot for a General Prediction
Sometimes you have no specific question at all. But you find yourself curious about life in the long haul.
Separate the Major Arcana (22 cards); the court cards (16 cards); the Wands, the Cups, the Swords, and the Pentacles (10 cards each). You should have six piles.
Overhand shuffle the Major Arcana, while asking, “What can I expect from life?” If a single card jumps out and lands face side up, that is your answer. Otherwise, put any rogues back in the pile and take the card on top. Read it.
Justice – Life will give you whatever you deserve.
Death – Life as you know it now will change completely.
The Sun – Life will make you very happy.
Overhand shuffle the court cards, while asking, “Who will help me?” If a single card jumps out and lands face side up, that is your answer. Otherwise, put any rogues back in the pile and take the card on top. Read it.
King of Wands – A Leo. Someone brave and protective.
Queen of Wands – An Aries. Someone strong and powerful.
Page of Cups – A Water sign. Someone emotional and loving.
Step 4: Ask about passion.
Overhand shuffle the Wands, while asking, “Where will I find passion?” If a single card jumps out and lands face side up, that is your answer. Otherwise, put any rogues back in the pile and take the card on top. Read it.
Ace of Wands – In something you have not tried before.
Five of Wands – In sports or competition.
Eight of Wands – In communication or travel.
Overhand shuffle the Cups, while asking, “Will love find me?” If a single card jumps out and lands face side up, that is your answer. Otherwise, put any rogues back in the pile and take the card on top. Read it.
Ace of Cups – Yes, a new love will find you.
Five of Cups – Yes, but it will not stay.
Ten of Cups – Yes, and it will last forever.
Step 6: Ask about demons.
Overhand shuffle the Swords, while asking, “Will I defeat my demons?” If a single card jumps out and lands face side up, that is your answer. Otherwise, put any rogues back in the pile and take the card on top. Read it.
Ace of Swords – Yes, you will slay them.
Three of Swords – They will always stay with you.
Step 7: Ask about wealth.
Overhand shuffle the Pentacles, while asking, “Will I know wealth?” If a single card jumps out and lands face side up, that is your answer. Otherwise, put any rogues back in the pile and take the card on top. Read it.
Ace of Pentacles – Yes, like never before.
Five of Pentacles – You will know poverty.
Ten of Pentacles – Definitely.
Put the whole deck together again. Overhand shuffle all 78 cards, while asking, “When will any of this begin?”
If two cards jump out and land face side up, they are your answer. Otherwise, put any rogues back in the pile and take the card on top and the one at the bottom. Those are the two possibilities. For meanings, refer to this.
